Components Flashcards
Difference between Cell and Battery (how it looks)
Cell is one big line and small line, battery is a string of those
How does a fuse look and what does it do
Rectangle with line going through out (Hot dog), they break if too much current flows through the circuit
Diode how does it look and what does it do?
Only allows current to flow in one direction, circle with play button, an I, with a line going horizontally through it
Ammeters, what are they, what do they look like, how are they connected
Ammeter is a circle with an A on it, they measure current, they’re connected in series
Voltmeters, what are they, what do they look like, how are they added
Measure voltage, circle with a V on it, added in parallel
Fixed Resistor, how does it look, what does it do
Box, provides a constant amount of resistance
Variable resistor, how does it look, what does it do
Box with arrow diagonally going through it from bottom to top, they can modify the amount of resistance it provides
Thermistor, what does it look like, what does it do
Box with crowbar going through it diagonally from top to bottom, varies its resistance depending on the temperature, if higher temp, the resistance will decrease and vice versa
LDR, what does it look like, what does it do
Circle with rectangle in it, arrows coming in to top left of circle, varies resistance depending on light intensity, if light intensity increases, resistance drops and vice versa
